Four conventions will be held at CHICAGOPEX 2015: the Society of Australasian Specialists / Oceania, The India Study Circle, the Eire Philatelic Association and The Institute for Analytical Philately. We encourage members of these groups to attend the show and invite collectors with those interests to attend as well.

There will be approximately 300 frames of philatelic material on display with something of interest for all attending the show. There will also be a literature competition featuring books for review.
